Defying Kings, Protesting Loyalty: Thomas Becket, Salzburg, and the Uses of Diocesan History
This article explores the dilemmas of loyalty faced by archbishops – both at Canterbury in the English kingdom and at Salzburg in the Empire – who sought to argue that their defiance of kings did not constitute an act of treachery. By examining episcopal biographies and letters in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries, it explores and contrasts the use of diocesan history in both Angevin England and the Empire, as well as the connections betwee…
The Unrealized Potential of Phenomenology in Understanding Addiction A Critical Exploration

We begin by briefly sketching the historical and philosophical background of phenomenology, highlighting its focus on subjective experience and its clinical relevance.

The symbolic constitution of addiction: Language, alienation, ambivalence
The author offers an articulation of addiction, via existential-phenomenology and Lacanian psychoanalysis, where it is argued that the addicted subject is constituted via a symbolic structuring evolving from societal practices, laws and the effects of language. Language carries a heritage, which bears on the knowledge and practices of designated subjects and practitioners of that discourse. Addiction, as one particular form of embodied existence …
The worlding of addiction
Addiction can be partially seen as a worlding; as a lived-out set of ecological relations. Based on existential-phenomenology, the lived-world of the addict is described as a particular way of being in the world. Although attained through active addiction, this way of being endures beyond active addiction into recovery. Active addiction is characterized by narrowness and withdrawal from the world; recovery from addiction entails an embrace of the…
Relating to the other: Truth and untruth in addiction
The author argues that relations between addicts and others are dominated by untruth. Lying is explored with regards to its origin in the primordial desire for love, while it is argued that the addict regards every question posed to them as a question about their lovability. The place of deception in Twelve-Step Fellowship movement is noted and it is also argued that the latter's notion of ‘rock bottom’ can be understood existentially as that pla…
